To all whom it maycomem:

Be itknown that I-; A1-mnnw JANER, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Flushing, county of Queens, city and State of New York, haveinvented certain new'and useful Improvements in Portable PerfumingDevices, of which the following is a specification, sufiicient to enablethose Fig. 1;

skilled in the artto which the invention appertains to utilize the same.

11y improvements relate to the type of device for containing anddispensing liquid perfume by means of vehicular air impregnate therewithsubstantially as disclosed in my concurrent application Ser. No.729,351, filed July 31st 1924, and likewise-are designed to afford asimple, compact, but effective contrivance for the purpose designated,adapted to be carried on the person, and in which provision is made .forregulating, during manipulation, the amount of perfume ejected inaccordance with requirements, as well as for obviating Waste, etc., astherein and hereinafter set forth,--the invention in the present caserelating more particularly to the specific means provided for utilizingthe full capacity of the liquid perfume reservoir, and

for positively sealing the ejector nozzle when not required for use,whereby leakage may be effectually prevented irrespective of thepositioning of the contrivance in inclination or reversed,--thusrendering my portable perfumer safe for transportation and use as anarticle to be disposed of in a vanity case, pocket, or otherwise as maybe found most expedient or convenient for the I user.

In the accompanying drawings 1 illustrate a practical embodiment of theessential features of my invention in concrete arrangement, although Ido not limitmyself to the identical form or construction of parts andappurtenances shown by way 01' exemplificatlon, since changes may bemade in minor details, and equivalent mechanical expedients-resorted to,with like results, and without departing from the spirit and intent ofmy invention in this respect.

With this understanding Fig. 1, represents an elevation of my portableperfuming device as retracted and closed;

Fig. 2, is a central longitudinal sectional elevation of the device whenclosed as in Fig. 3, is a central longitudinal section thereof asexpanded for use;

Fig. 4, is a transverse section of line 4-4 Fig. 2;

Fig. 5, is a like section illustrating a change in the relativepositions of the caslng and the liquid containers 1g. 6, is a sectionalview taken upon plane of line 6-6 F ig. 2, illustrating the eccentricco-relation of casing and reservoir 1n effecting the sealing of theejector nozzle.

The said figures of the drawings, for convenience of observation ofstructure and arrangement of parts, represent my perfuming device as ofapproximately double the size as actually manufactured for individualuse, although the size is not material.

The upper end of the tubular casing C, is formed with a flange, theinturned annular edge 0, of which is eccentric to the inner cylindricalsurface of said casing. The lower extremity of said tubular casing C, isclosed by a cap 0', formed with a central orifice or perforation 0 anannular upon plane Washer 0 being preferably interposed between said cap0, and the adjacent edge of the tube C, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, ofthe drawings.

The reservoir R, for containing the liquid perfume P, is of a diameterto fitsnugly within the inturned eccentric annular flange c, of thecasing C, and is closed at its lower extremity by a piston member 7rigidly attached thereto, and fitting snugly within the casing C, andalso preferably provided with a cup-leather or equivalent packing 1", toinsure an airtight contactual engagement with the inner surface of thecasing, especially during the depression of the reservoir as hereinafterset forth.

The coil spring S, is. interposed between the piston member r, and thecap 0', of the casing C, and tends constantly to press said pistonmember 9", and reservoir R, outward into the position shown in Fig. 3,with the upper circumferential edge of the iston member 7*,restingagainst the aforesaid annularflange 0, of the casing G, therebylimiting the outward thrust or movement of v the reservoir R.

The eccentric annular flange c, of the cas.-'

mg C, is formed with a port notch or openin c", for the accommodation ofthe pro tu erances e, which consists of the outer portion of the nozzleof the ejector tube a, which latter is positioned within the resermensesvoir R, and extends at its other extremity approximately to the bottomof said reservoir. Adjacent to and extending above or beyond the'ejectornozzle 6, the ejector tube e, is bent into the form of a syphonic trapextending approximately to the upperv without overflow to the nozzle,this feature being a decided improvement over the form of ejectortube'shown in my aforesaid concurrent application Serial No. 729,351, inwhich the syphonic trap c is omitted, permitting an overflow to thenozzle e, if the liquid level extends above the latter.

Near the apex of its convex surface the syphon trap e is forlned with aninlet duct e communicating with the space thereabove in the reservoir,so that the forced discharge of liquid through the ejector pipe 6, willinduct air from the reservoir prior to its ejection through the nozzle,thereby the discharge and prevents the spraying of drops of liquidperfume through said nozzle and not only thus economizing the perfumebut also obviates saturation of parts to betreated therewith. o

An automatic-closing air inlet valve a, is mounted on the underside ofthe piston member 7', of the reservoir R, the valve chamber of whichcommunicates with an air inlet stand pipe a, extending approximately tothe upper extremity of the reservoir R, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, ofthe drawings, the upper end of said reservoir tube R, being closed by acap K, which also functions as a finger rest for manipulative purposes.The cap K, is detachably connected to the tube R, to admit of theintroduction of the liquid perfume P, into the reservoir R, and ispreferably provided with a. packing disc in, or equivalent means ofeffecting an airtight joint between the parts when the said tube R, isclosed.

When it is desired to retain the parts of the device in closedrelationship, as in Figs. 1 and 2, of the drawings the protuberantportion of the nozzle e, on the reservoir it, is caused to enter thenotch c", in the concentric annular flange a, of the casing (l, and thereservoir is then partially turned on its longitudinal axis so as tobring said protuberant portion of the nozzle e, under said flange 0,thereby lockin the reservoir with in the casing against ti expansionspring S, as shown more articularly in Fig. 2. Simultaneously with thisinterlocking of the arts, the partial rotating of the reservoir R,involved as just stated, owing to the eccentricity of the controllingflange c, seals the outer end of the e resistance of the nozzle 6, byreason of the contact therewith of the inner surface of the casing, theeccentricity of said flange c, as related to the inner cylindricalsurface of the casing :C, being such that a quarter turn, more or less,of the reservoir R, on its longitudinal axis, or of the casing asrelated to the reservoir, is sufficient to seal the outlet of thenozzle, thereby preventing all possibility of leakage of liquid perfumeirrespective of the position or inclination assumed by the device asthus closed upon itself, considered in a unitary sense;

in use, the device is grasped endwise between the thumb and finger, theparts being in the position shown in Fig. 3. If the air inlet 0 on theotherwise closed extremity of the casing C, is covered, the depressionof the reservoir R, against the resistance of the spring S, will causethe piston to force the air within the casing C,

, through the valve a, and tube a, into the reservoir it, and thencethrough the liquid perfume P, the air thus impregnated with perfumebeing forced out. through the ejector pipe 6, and nozzle Q.

Obviously if the air inlet 0 is open during any portion of the inwardthrust imparted to the reservoir R, the air in the casing C, willescape, in whole or in part, through said inlet t which thus becomes ameans for regulatin and varying the volunin of impregnated air deliveredto and through the nozzle 6. Thus the quantity of perfume ejected may begoverned with accuracy according to preference of requirements, and thepossibility of waste is thus eliminated.

M'y perfuming device may be operated when held in any position; andfurthermore, only impregnated air can be ejected, thus obviating wasteof liquid, and staining or saturation of cloth, etc., which it may bedesired to treat.
